Description
I am a Large Urushi Funnel. Fluidity is key to finding a good flow at the end of the tunnel.
Curator’s Notes
A funnel is one of those kitchen accessories we never knew we needed until we had one. Instead of making a mess of the countertops, this functional object allows a smooth transfer of liquids or fine table condiments like salt or sugar into vessels, containers and bottles with small openings. The multiple layers of brushed urushi lacquer protects the wood while giving the piece a hand painted quality fit for an object so sculptural.
